@Marius Salax Contusor:
You need the jetpack for this.
This allows you to use the aqueduct to direct the three laser beams
from puzzle 1 and one charger beam from puzzle 3 to
puzzle 4.
You can do the rest in puzzle 4.
Good luck.

Where are we supposed to get the code to return to the Pyramid World after beating everything else? I saw it on the YouTube playlist being entered but I have no idea where you're supposed to find it. I have all 14 stars and have beaten everything else through World 4.

With a teleporter code.

How do i get out of the first world?!
Rough N. Sluff 7 Jul, 2024 @ 9:43pm 
Thanks for your help. Found it. not exactly behind the entrance, I fell off cliffs several times. [spoiler/] Fiendishly well hidden, I must have passed it by several times. I really liked the device you made to shuttle from one world to another. Of the OPs I enjoyed this one the most. Keep up the good work. Is it possible to mod Talos II? I'm hoping

@Rough N. Sluff:
The star you are looking for is probably hidden somewhere behind the entrance to the level.
Rough N. Sluff 5 Jul, 2024 @ 4:46pm 
I think I got all the sigils and stars in OP2 except for the last star in World 2. I looked inside and outside the puzzle areas, but couldn't find the star. But a strange thing happened in Puzzle 03. I used the recorder and got on the platform. Then I found myself floating above the ground and slowly drifting out of the puzzle area. From this vantage point I glimpsed what might be another puzzle area far away across the swamp land. I could turn around but could not otherwise move or jump, I was frozen. I've been able to repeat this frozen floating, but so far have not left the puzzle area again. Any tip on that last star would be appreciated. Thanks for OP2, it is my favorite mod so far. The jet pack on World 4 was rewarding.

When I subscribe to this, the TetrominoPicked.wav immediately before is no longer playing, only where the last Sigil in one area is acquired and the Sigils are highlighted one by one.
Also, (only puzzle1 seems to have been fixed) still the entrance to where the creators' models are in the main talos remains blocked by a wall.

@rock-p:
You were right. I checked again. It's at OP1&2. Update coming soon. Sorry.
ma.hirsch  [author] 12 Feb, 2024 @ 10:49am 
@rock-p:
OK. I'll watch the first episode again. Maybe I'll discover something after all.
ma.hirsch  [author] 12 Feb, 2024 @ 9:56am 
@rock-p:
I do not think so.
This cathedral does not appear in any of my episodes of Only Puzzles.
If so, then in The Talos Principle Advanced.
I didn't change anything there.
Even if then would it doesn't affect the main game.

@rock-p:
A photo would be helpful.
Rough N. Sluff 26 Jan, 2024 @ 9:26pm 
Really enjoyed this mod, I think I got all of the sigils and stars except for the last star on World 2. Any hint would be appreciated. When I went looking I encountered this strange glitch that had me floating far away from the puzzle area.

Thank you to @ma.hirsch. this mod is fantastic. I look forward to playing your other mods in the future.

If anyone tries to play this on steam deck, installing the editor in desktop mode and starting it up fixes the issue described below. I wasn't sure if the editor would open since it says it's for windows only but it opened fine using the default version of proton thar the deck suggested.
scavfan 14 Jul, 2023 @ 5:42am 
Doesn't crash with editor installed. Wonder why this happens
scavfan 14 Jul, 2023 @ 5:33am 
Got the same bug as SSSN when trying to teleport to World2: Cannot open file Content/Talos/Presets/Shaders/BatchedParticles.mtr

Looks like it is not fixed. Gonna try to download the editor and see if it still crashes.
SSSN 27 Dec, 2022 @ 12:26am 
Well, I'll think of other ways to get the stars outside (the stars at the seaside are surrounded by 10 switches. It seems that I need to find 10 things to put on the 10 switches. I've collected all the stars except the two stars of World 1)
ma.hirsch  [author] 26 Dec, 2022 @ 10:30pm 
@SSSN:
I'm sorry, this is not a bug.
That's on purpose.
SSSN 26 Dec, 2022 @ 3:07pm 
I encountered a bug in the game. In World-1-puzzle04, there is a recorder. At first, it was useful. After the first use, it did not work. I wanted to use the recorder and the support table to take the box outside the room, but this bug prevented me from doing so. So I tried many times before I found it was a bug.
SSSN 25 Dec, 2022 @ 1:18am 
I downloaded The Talos Principle Editor, now the game doesn't crash
ma.hirsch  [author] 22 Dec, 2022 @ 11:27am 
@SSSN:
Try to start the last backup.
Maybe this helps.
SSSN 21 Dec, 2022 @ 2:45pm 
I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear. On the table at the station, 1 is marked on the left and right. I entered 6 yellow artifacts and got the code 7938. Then when I teleported, the game crashed. Well, I don't know whether this code will send me to the second world or other worlds. After you updated, I tried several times, but failed. The game still crashes. Do I need to start a new game patch to work?
ma.hirsch  [author] 21 Dec, 2022 @ 11:31am 
@SSSN:
OK. I uploaded an update.
I forgot about this level.
Now everything should work.
SSSN 21 Dec, 2022 @ 12:31am 
I gathered six yellow artifacts in the station, opened a mechanism, and got the code. Then I wanted to open the mechanism and transmit it to World2. During the transmission, the game crashed, and the interface popped up again:Cannot open file Content/Talos/Presets/Shaders/BatchedParticles.mtr.

@Neon Henchman:
Thank you for this very good rating.:cozybethesda:
Neon Henchman 15 Dec, 2022 @ 1:16pm 
Okay, I must say, after having played Only Puzzles 1 to 3 to completion, and am currently in World 7 of the fourth, this second entry is my favorite of the bunch, and it's in fact very good. The puzzles were pretty well thought out for the most part, but what I really liked are these secret worlds that have an overarching gimmick, it was fun as hell. Now I do have a problem where a bunch of puzzles, I needed to know beforehand what to expect, like one of the stars in the first world had me fly far away, but I needed to know to bring an item at that time, and by which I've already locked myself out of the puzzles I needed this/these items from. I may have some other qualms with it, but eh, nothing's ever perfect, and I do reiterate that I very much liked it overall, plus it's not overly difficult like I saw some other Mods do, Only Puzzles 2 have a pretty good difficulty curve.
ma.hirsch  [author] 12 Dec, 2022 @ 9:15am 
Ok.:cozybethesda:
SSSN 12 Dec, 2022 @ 8:53am 
Now I can enter the game. Thank you very much.
ma.hirsch  [author] 12 Dec, 2022 @ 8:45am 
@SSSN:
OK. I uploaded an update.
It should now work on any system.(Windows/Mac./Linux)
Hopefully!
Please let me know if it works or not.
SSSN 10 Dec, 2022 @ 8:19pm 
I can't open this mod. Once I click on a new game computer, the black screen crashes. This pops up: Cannot open file Content/Talos/Presets/Shaders/BatchedParticles.mtr.
How to solve the problem
BrandonS 18 Nov, 2022 @ 12:39pm 
Yeah, I had some of those maps downloaded. It's annoying that I might have had my progress reset for all of the maps I had downloaded, but at least I know what caused it.
ma.hirsch  [author] 18 Nov, 2022 @ 7:57am 
@brandonosaur:
Just tested it.
Everything OK.
Did you subscribe to anything from Presho?
It could be because of that.
BrandonS 17 Nov, 2022 @ 7:35pm 
I got the jetpack in the hub area, but after leaving the area it crashed my game and appears to have deleted all of my progress. even in other workshop maps. Is there any way to fix this?
ma.hirsch  [author] 12 Jul, 2022 @ 11:30am 
@brandonosaur:
Try the pink laser from Puzzle 3
BrandonS 12 Jul, 2022 @ 11:19am 
That's probably the problem. I didn't know that they were different colors.
ma.hirsch  [author] 12 Jul, 2022 @ 10:21am 
@brandonosaur:
Are you sure that's purple and not pink?
BrandonS 11 Jul, 2022 @ 11:40am 
I'm playing this on a Mac computer, and I can't progress in the first world because the purple lasers outside of the main puzzles don't work. Am I doing something wrong?

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2833880311

I'm using one of the purple lasers in puzzle 2.
lir7 23 Nov, 2021 @ 1:03pm 
Thanks for another fabulous game. Until OP4. ;0)
nostaldias 20 Oct, 2021 @ 12:38am 
the most dificult for me
Tommys Pickle 14 May, 2021 @ 4:02pm 
Having trouble starting the campaign. Get the error message "Unable to Load Level". Not sure why, I have OP1 and OP3 as well and they load and run just fine, only this one is giving me issues.
Johker 2 Mar, 2021 @ 12:42am 
i cant play it waaaaaa
sts 26 Feb, 2021 @ 6:02pm 
Ah, so Barry Mead's walkthrough video is out of date for secret island 1. I should have guessed, especially since you've added visible control lines for those force fields. I tried to follow the lines and failed to figure out that they went to the green receivers in the basement, so I assumed that the control lines led to switches later in the puzzle. Thank you; my mistake.
ma.hirsch  [author] 25 Feb, 2021 @ 10:38pm 
@sts:
Try another way.
Leave the green receiver connected and take it
Everything else with you upstairs.
The two plasma doors are then open.
sts 25 Feb, 2021 @ 3:05pm 
I'm having a problem in world 1's secret island 1. There's a point where you put a jammer on top of a cube and use a fan to blow them through a force field that is being jammed by that jammer. In Barry Mead's walkthrough video, it shows the cube and jammer passing through the jammed force field, with the cube stopping when it hits a second force field and the jammer landing on top of that second force field. When I try it, the cube lands in the same place as in the video, but the jammer bounces back and lands on the near side of the first force field. Since the jammer fails to pass through the jammed force field, the puzzle can not be continued.

I've tried it a dozen times, and I always get the same result. I've reset the map and tried again from the beginning, trying again a dozen times, and I always get the same result. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a bug.
geobart 22 Feb, 2021 @ 5:35pm 
Stuck. I have collected most of the sigils but can not enter castle in world 1 because I am missing straight red sigil. The only place I can find to get one is world 1, puzzle 3. This I have completed and even reran to make sure the sigil is gone. It is also crossed off on the signs. I find your maps a perfect fit for my skill level and love playing them. I very much would like to fly in world 4 but am grounded without going through the castles. I hope you can help. Thank you. Kes.

@spQrtiron:
Is there a hidden switch?
ma.hirsch  [author] 2 Jan, 2021 @ 11:51am 
@spQrtiron:
When you've cleared away all the connectors below
as shown in the video, then the cube should fall down.
